Wacom make good tablets and their Bambo range is fairly good at a low price. There are other makers but their quality is usually fairly poor in comparison to Wacom. I have a Wacom Bambo tablet myself which I picked up for �30 from Aldi as it was one of only a couple remaining. It’s worth a lot more than that, about what you want to pay.

It was this one, the price must of dropped in the past year since I purchased.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wacom-Bamboo-MTE-450-K-DE/dp/B000QUQDXM/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1288718974&sr=8-8
I don’t agree with that review on Amazon, I had no problem doing what that reviewer says, it seems accurate enough to me. Best check out the specs, that should indicate how accurate they are.
Answer #7
Ahh thank you!
I am about to place an order on this one
http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/11912159/Wacom-Bamboo-Pen-Graphics-Tablet/Product.html
It’s �10 cheaper than amazon.co.uk! Seems pretty good! I am not going to dish out more for a touch function, if anything, the touch has worse reviews than the non-touch lol

That looks okay and it has a nib extractor and spare nibs which mine doesn’t. But the limited amount of use I get out of it, I am unlikely to ever need to replace a nib.
From what I read about tablets, the more advanced usage you put them to the bigger the tablet should be. The smaller tablets are meant to be less accurate because the area is smaller for the same screen resolution. I rarely use mine, only when I need to do something in PS that is faster done using a pen than a mouse. That is usually magnified so the accuracy isn’t such a big deal for me. It has always been enough but for more demanding usage it might not be. Then a bigger tablet might be more appropriate. So it might be worth researching on tablet size and it’s affect before purchase But I doubt you would get any bigger Wacom tablet for the money intend spending and other makes are rarely appreciated from what I have seen.

Hey boss!
I understand what you’re saying, 110%, it does make a huge amount of sense. The next models started to take a large jump in price, and I am not in a student position to afford them aha D:
Thanks alot for your help! All the best. =]
